CFP (Conference): Renaissance Society of America Conference, Chicago, IL, March 21-23, 2024 (Deadline 1 August 2023)

The Renaissance Society of America (RSA) has announced that it will accept proposals for individual presentation proposals and complete panels for its annual conference, to be held March 21-23, 2024, in Chicago, IL (USA).  The Journal of Jesuit Studies regularly organizes up to five panels at this conference.  We are looking to organize panels in any aspect of Jesuit studies in any region, up to the year 1700.  (Please note: submission by the JJS does not guarantee acceptance to the program, as we are not an affiliated society.)
